Private investigators may be hired by insurance companies or law firms to investigate workers' compensation and personal injury claims. Their goal is to uncover any fraudulent or exaggerated claims and gather evidence to support or challenge a claim. Private investigators may conduct various tasks in workers' compensation and personal injury investigations, such as:

1. Interviewing witnesses: Private investigators may interview witnesses to the accident or incident, such as coworkers or bystanders, to gather information about the circumstances of the injury.
2. Conducting surveillance: Private investigators may conduct surveillance to observe the claimant's activities and determine if their reported injuries are consistent with their activities.
3. Reviewing medical records: Private investigators may review medical records to determine the extent of the claimant's injuries and determine if they are consistent with the reported injury.
4. Investigating the claimant's history: Private investigators may investigate the claimant's history to determine if they have a history of making fraudulent claims or if they have a history of similar injuries.
5. Gathering evidence: Private investigators may gather evidence, such as photographs or video footage, to support or challenge a claim.

Private investigators must follow strict legal and ethical guidelines when conducting workers' compensation and personal injury investigations. They must ensure that they do not engage in any illegal activities or violate anyone's rights. Their goal is to provide accurate and relevant information that can help insurance companies or law firms make informed decisions about the validity of a claim. Less
